Abstract

Apart from their actual task - the transmission of communication data/signalling data, communication networks can also be used for transmitting special data. For this purpose, corresponding control procedures must be implemented in the communications system itself or in a host computer connected to the communication system. The operation of these control procedures decisively depends on the respective application. The method according to the invention indicates an approach for generating a control procedure covering a multiplicity of applications. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren gemäß Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a method according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

Basis einer zeitgemäßen Bürokommunikation sind Kommunikationssysteme, die über Verbindungsleitungen miteinander verbunden sind. Die Vielfalt der von Kommunikationssystemen bereitgestellten Leistungsmerkmale hat in den letzten Jahren stetig zugenommen, insbesondere weil zum lange praktizierten Kommunikationsdienst 'Sprache' andere Formen der Kommunikation wie die Übertragung von Bildern, Daten oder Texten hinzugekommen sind. Im Zusammenhang damit hat die Vernetzung der einzelnen Kommunikationssysteme immer weiter zugenommen.Modern office communication is based on communication systems that are connected to each other via connecting lines. The variety of features provided by communication systems has increased steadily in recent years, in particular because other forms of communication such as the transmission of images, data or texts have been added to the long-established communication service 'language'. In connection with this, the networking of the individual communication systems has continued to increase.

Weiterhin existieren neben diesen, der Übertragung beliebiger Daten dienenden Kommunikationsnetzen Sonderdatennetze zur Übertragung spezieller Daten. Dabei kann es sich beispielsweise um ein Netz handeln, über das Alarmdaten von Feuermeldern zu zentralen Stellen übertragen werden. Das Vorhandensein von 'allgemeinen' Kommunikationsnetzen macht diese Sonderdatennetze überall dort überflüssig, wo über jene Kommunikationsnetze kleinere Datenmengen ohne wesentliche Einschränkung der Verfügbarkeit der Kommunikationsdienste für übrige Dienste mitübertragen werden können.In addition to these communication networks used for the transmission of any data, there are special data networks for the transmission of special data. This can be, for example, a network via which alarm data from fire alarms are transmitted to central locations. The presence of 'general' communication networks makes these special data networks superfluous wherever smaller amounts of data can be transmitted over those communication networks without significantly restricting the availability of the communication services for other services.

Eine bekannte Anwendung dieser Mitbenutzung der Wege eines bereits bestehenden Kommunikationsnetzes erfolgt im sogenannten Teilnehmerdatendienst. Dabei werden kleinere Datenmengen von Fernsprech-Endgeräten zu einem an das Fernsprech-Kommunikationssystem angeschlossenen Hostrechner gesendet. Der Hostrechner, in üblicherweise Gebührendaten berechnet werden, kann - je nach Größe des Kommunikationssystems - eine größere Datenverarbeitungsanlage oder ein Personal Computer sein. Die vom Fernsprechendgerät ausgehenden Daten werden hier überprüft, verarbeitet und abgespeichert:
Dabei gibt ein Teilnehmer an seinem Fernsprech-Endgerät zunächst eine spezielle Codenummer ein. Dies kann beispielsweise durch Betätigen einer speziellen Taste am Endgerät erfolgen. Dadurch werden die bei dem anschließenden Betätigen der Tasten erzeugten Daten als Sonderdaten definiert. Daraufhin 'reicht' das Kommunikationssystem diese Daten durch ein Koppelfeld des Kommunikationssystems zum Hostrechner durch; dieser übernimmt die Sonderdaten und bindet sie in anwendungsorientierte Steuerprozeduren ein.A known application of this sharing of the paths of an already existing communication network takes place in the so-called subscriber data service. Smaller amounts of data are sent from telephone terminals to a host computer connected to the telephone communication system. The host computer, in Depending on the size of the communication system, charging data can usually be calculated, which can be a larger data processing system or a personal computer. The data coming from the telephone device is checked, processed and saved here:
A subscriber first enters a special code number on his telephone terminal. This can be done, for example, by pressing a special button on the terminal. As a result, the data generated when the buttons are subsequently pressed are defined as special data. The communication system then 'passes' this data through a switching matrix of the communication system to the host computer; This takes over the special data and integrates it into application-oriented control procedures.

Beispiele für derartige Teilnehmerdatendienste sind die Gleitzeiterfassung oder Bestellvorgänge:
Im Falle der Gleitzeiterfassung gibt der Mitarbeiter beim Erreichen des Arbeitsplatzes über ein entsprechendes Pass-Wort einen Nummerncode in das Endgerät 'Telefon' ein; auch das Verlassen des Arbeitsplatzes wird dem Hostrechner durch Eingabe der hierzu erforderlichen Ziffernfolgen signalisiert. Somit kann der Hostrechner anhand der identifizierten Codenummer und einer im Hostrechner geführten Uhr definierte Zeitpunkte und damit die Arbeitszeit ermitteln und abspeichern.Examples of such subscriber data services are flextime recording or ordering processes:
In the case of flexitime recording, the employee enters a number code into the 'phone' terminal using a corresponding pass word when he reaches the workplace; Leaving the workplace is also signaled to the host computer by entering the number sequences required for this. The host computer can thus use the identified code number and a clock maintained in the host computer to determine and save the working time.

In prinzipiell ähnlicher Weise können auch Bestellvorgänge über Fernsprech-Endgeräte abgewickelt werden. So kann beispielsweise der Mitarbeiter eines Betriebes über das Eingeben von Ziffernfolgen ein Menue in der Kantine bestellen; falls eine Bestellung nicht möglich ist, teilt dies der Hostrechner dem Mitarbeiter über entsprechende Quittungstöne mit.In a similar manner in principle, ordering processes can also be carried out via telephone terminals. For example, the employee of a company can order a menu in the canteen by entering numerical sequences; if an order is not possible, the host computer informs the employee of this via appropriate confirmation tones.

Aus der schweizerischen Patentschrift 588 122 ist ein Verfahren zum dezentralen Erfassen kleiner Sätze digitaler Betriebsdaten mittels betriebsinterner Telefonapparate bekannt. Dabei werden bei etablierter Verbindung zwischen dem Teilnehmerendgerät und einem an das Kommunikationssystem angeschlossenen Registriergerät (Host-Rechner) Daten durch Betätigen der Wähleinrichtung des Teilnehmerendgerätes übertragen. Das Verfahren wird insbesondere zum Erfassen der Präsenzzeiten des Personals genutzt, kann aber auch für weitere Anwendungsfälle modifiziert werden.From the Swiss patent specification 588 122 a method for the decentralized acquisition of small sets of digital operating data by means of in-house telephones is known. When the connection between the subscriber terminal and a registration device (host computer) connected to the communication system is established, data is transmitted by actuating the dialing device of the subscriber terminal. The method is used in particular to record the presence times of the personnel, but can also be modified for other applications.

Problematisch daran ist allerdings, daß für jeden Anwendungsfall geeignete Steuerprozeduren im Hostrechner erstellt werden müssen. So unterscheiden sich z.B. die Steuerprozeduren für die Gleitzeiterfassung grundlegend von denen für Bestellvorgänge. Weiterhin besteht oft der Wunsch, die Daten speziell für individuelle Anwendungsfälle aufzubereiten. Solchen Kundenwünschen muß durch eine entsprechende Codierung der Steuerprozeduren entsprochen werden.The problem with this, however, is that suitable control procedures must be created in the host computer for each application. For example, the control procedures for flexitime are fundamentally different from those for ordering processes. Furthermore, there is often a desire to prepare the data specifically for individual applications. Such customer requests must be met by appropriate coding of the control procedures.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, den unterschiedlichen Gegebenheiten der Datendienstanwendung ohne jeweils neue systemkonforme Codierungen Rechnung zu tragen. Dies wird ausgehend von dem im Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 definierten Verfahren durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 erreicht.The invention has for its object to take into account the different circumstances of the data service application without new system-conform coding. This is achieved on the basis of the method defined in the preamble of claim 1 by the characterizing features of claim 1.

Wesentlich für die Erfindung ist ein übergeordnetes Bausatzprogramm, das Checkroutinen, Tabellen mit unterschiedlichen Tonfrequenzen/Ausgabetexten, eine zentrale Datenbank sowie eine Tabelle mit den jeweiligen, bereits codierten Programmschritten enthält. Dabei wird dem Umstand Rechnung getragen, daß in verschiedenen Anwendungsfällen - wie z. B. Bestellvorgang Gleitzeiterfassung, etc. - die Checkroutinen ähnliche Schnittstellen aufweisen. Solche Checkroutinen können derart festgelegt werden, daß sie für alle Anwendungsfälle verwendet werden können. Weiterhin ist im Bausatzprogramm eine Tabelle implementiert, in der eine Reihe von Tätigkeiten bereits vorcodiert sind. Somit kann der Anwender die einzelnen Schritte menüartig zu einem individuellen Programm zusammenstellen. Darin werden die vom Fernsprech-Endgerät ausgehenden Sonderdaten verarbeitet und in einer Datenbank abgelegt. Diese enthält eine externe Softwareschnittstelle. Somit können die in der Datenbank abgelegten Daten jederzeit von weiteren externen Programmen wie beispielsweise 'MULTIPLAN' oder 'dBASE' geladen, und zu statistischen Zwecken weiterverarbeitet werden.Essential to the invention is a superordinate kit program which contains check routines, tables with different audio frequencies / output texts, a central database and a table with the respective, already coded program steps. The fact is taken into account that in various applications - such. B. Order process, flexitime recording, etc. - the check routines have similar interfaces. Such check routines can be defined in such a way that they are used for all applications can be. Furthermore, a table is implemented in the kit program, in which a number of activities are already pre-coded. In this way, the user can put together the individual steps into an individual program. The special data originating from the telephone terminal are processed therein and stored in a database. This contains an external software interface. This means that the data stored in the database can be loaded at any time by other external programs, such as 'MULTIPLAN' or 'dBASE', and processed further for statistical purposes.

Die Erfindung wird im folgenden anhand eines in zwei Figuren dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels erläutert.The invention is explained below with reference to an embodiment shown in two figures.

FIG 1 zeigt ein Kommunikationssystem KS, an das über Teilnehmeranschlußleitungen die Endgeräte T angeschaltet sind. Im einfachsten Fall handelt es sich dabei um Telefonapparate mit einer Wähleinrichtung. Weiterhin ist ein Hostrechner H über eine Verbindungsleitung mit dem Kommunikationssystem KS verbunden. Der Hostrechner H dient üblicherweise der Unterstützung des Kommunikationssystems KS; es werden Zustandsdaten über das Kommunikationssystem KS sowie die Endteilnehmer T abgelegt bzw. Gebührendaten erfaßt. Im Hostrechner H erstellt ein Bausatzprogramm B unter Eingabe verschiedener Parameter aufgabenindviduell Steuerprozeduren ST.1 shows a communication system KS to which the terminals T are connected via subscriber lines. In the simplest case, these are telephones with a dialing device. Furthermore, a host computer H is connected to the communication system KS via a connecting line. The host computer H usually serves to support the communication system KS; status data are stored via the communication system KS and the end users T or charge data are recorded. In the host computer H, a kit program B creates control procedures ST by inputting various parameters.

Wie in FIG 2 schematisch angedeutet, enthält das Bausatzprogramm B enthält eine Datenbank D, bereits vorcodierte Checkprozeduren CH1, CH2...CHn (n > 2) sowie die Tabellen TAB1, TAB2...TABm(m > 2). In der Tabelle TAB1 sind die verschiedenen Tonfrequenzen, die später in der Steuerprozedur ST als Quittungstöne ausgegeben werden, enthalten. Die Tabelle TAB2 beinhaltet verschiedene Ausgabetexte. Diese werden zusammen mit den Tonfrequenzen später als Quittungen zum Endteilnehmer zurückgegeben. Dieser erkennt anhand der Tonfrequenz sowie dem Quittungstext, ob die von ihm gewünschte Datenübermittlung korrekt erfolgt ist, und welche weiteren Schritte - durch eine entsprechende Eingabe vom Endgerät aus - durchzuführen sind. Weiterhin sind in der Tabelle TAB3 eine Vielzahl möglicher Programmschritte vorcodiert enthalten.As indicated schematically in FIG. 2, the kit program B contains a database D, pre-coded check procedures CH1, CH2 ... CHn (n> 2) and the tables TAB1, TAB2 ... TAB m (m> 2). The table TAB1 contains the various tone frequencies which are later output as acknowledgment tones in the control procedure ST. Table TAB2 contains various output texts. These are along with the audio frequencies returned later as receipts to the end participant. On the basis of the tone frequency and the receipt text, the operator recognizes whether the data transmission he has requested has been carried out correctly and which further steps are to be carried out - by making an appropriate entry from the terminal. In addition, table TAB3 contains a large number of possible program steps precoded.

Die Steuerprozedur ST wird erstellt, indem im Bausatzprogramm B festgelegt wird, welche Tätigkeiten der Reihe nach ausgeführt werden sollen sowie welche Töne/Ausgabetexte der Endteilnehmer nach Übertragen der Daten zum Hostrechner H erhalten soll. Die einzelnen Schritte werden dabei menueartig durch eine zu diesem Zweck residente Implementierungsprozedur IP zusammengestellt. Weiterhin wird die Datenbank D in die zu erstellende Steuerprozedur ST mitintegriert. Als Endergebnis entsteht tabellarisch die Steuerprozedur ST:
Hauptbestandteil der Steuerprozedur ST ist die aus den Tabellen TAB₁...TABm des Bausatzprogrammes B entstandene Tabelle TAB. Hier sind die Programmschritte der Steuerprozedur ST aufgabenindividuell festgelegt. Die Tabelle TAB übernimmt die Daten von der Checkprozedur CHx, (CHx CH₁...CHn und speichert sie in der Datenbank D ab. Über eine Softwareschnittstelle können Progamme wie 'MULTIPLAN' oder 'dBASE' auf jene Daten zur weiteren statistischen Verarbeitung zugreifen.The control procedure ST is created by determining in the kit program B which activities are to be carried out in sequence and which tones / output texts the end user is to receive after the data has been transferred to the host computer H. The individual steps are put together in the manner of a menu by means of an implementation procedure IP resident for this purpose. The database D is also integrated into the control procedure ST to be created. The final result is the ST control procedure:
The main component of the control procedure ST is the table TAB that is created from the tables TAB 1 ... TAB m of the kit program B. The program steps of the ST control procedure are defined individually for each task. The table TAB takes the data from the check procedure CHx, (CHx CH₁ ... CH n and saves them in the database D. Programs such as 'MULTIPLAN' or 'dBASE' can access these data for further statistical processing via a software interface.
